    Gunsmithing chamber question?

    I have 5 or 6 reloads on some of it and no issues. I guess I will just have to keep it separate, which does suck because I have a ton fired from factory rifle and not nearly enough for the other two. I thought about tearing one down and giving it another .001 or .002 to see if that would work...

    Gunsmithing Machining...can it be self-taught?

    I waited on a rifle once for over a year, told myself it couldn't be rocket science, convinced the wife i'd be saving money in the long run (yeah right). Bought a grizzly lathe and a mini mill, never used either ever, bought a little metal to practice on, now 15-20 rifles , a dozen or so muzzle...

    Hydro Dipping?
